Named for that unexpected play that can make or break a game, the stitch pattern used in this scarf will have many people scratching their heads, wondering how you did it. But when you know the “trick” you’ll be amazed at how easy this is to work. It is a simple all knit pattern where you only work with one color at a time. Yet it creates a 2-color, textured, reversible, and non-rolling fabric that is just perfect for a scarf, without the stiffness of garter stitch. If you can make a knit stitch, you can make this scarf. Directions are provided to work this scarf either lengthwise or widthwise, depending on whether you want your stripes running vertically or horizontally.

You’ll need a circular needle, or a pair of double point needles could work if you are working widthwise.

Skills: Cast on, knit, bind off.

Size: 6” wide X 72” long.

Tested with Cascade 220.
